4509 arrived on the SVRSevern Valley Railway in June 1982 from York. Subsequently overhauled by SVR(H) as part of the restoration of the set of maroon liveried Mark 1 coaches, 4509 is in regular service and is now normally used in the BR Crimson & Cream running set.
It was owned for many years by SVRSevern Valley Railway volunteer ticket collector Austen White, who bequeathed it to his colleague and neighbour James Barker. Not long after the creation of the Rolling Stock Trust charity, 4509 was donated to it and so it is now owned by the SVR Charitable Trust. The Trust has provided new batteries and a slow-speed charging device as an additional improvement.[1]
